We decided to buy 36 q of land in the 5-N Chapelry (2 "prestige lots" from the Town) for 800 million total, for the building of The Round Table House. The Royal Architects were commissioned to make the plans.
No cost nor sqm totals are yet available, but the main features in the finished building (it will be built in stages):
- 56x56 m base, 50x50 m body completely closed square with inner elevated courtyard.
- height from street to top of the towers 37 m, 7 floors max
- Knights access with carriage via passage to the courtyard, then 11 m high halls and galleries to the Table Room
- Table room round domed, d=22 m, h=9-15 m, spectator seating in higher level, table diameter 14 m to seat 50 Knights
- Main staircase 12 m ascent, 3 m wide, 21 m high
- Grand Ballroom 48x9x9 m, Small Ballroom 24x9x9 m
- Chapel 13x9x11 m
- 50-70 offices for Knights (15-100+ sqm), 20-30 commercial properties all in street level to let
- 3-story public section (Museum or similar)
- Crypt and treasury
- Courtyard garden, terraces, balconies and roof gardens
- Nearly all rooms incl offices high-arched because they are so big that it is necessary
- Extensive supports and buttresses throughout, inside and outside
- Very much light because the width of the building is only 8-11 m excl the domed part.
